- Canada only used eight per cent of stimulus funding during the recession to modernize its economy
- The Green Party’s program would reduce the deficit faster than the Tories

- Canada’s diminishing reputation abroad an indictment on Canada withdrawing aid from the poorest of African countries, reducing peacekeeping efforts and becoming “obstructionists” when it comes to greenhouse gas reduction negotiations
